[Bug 20944] EME should do more to encourage/ensure CDM-level interop

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=20944

--- Comment #28 from Michael[tm] Smith <mike@w3.org> ---
For the record here, pasting in comments from roc on the public-html-media list
that are relevant.

[[
The proposal in the bug explicitly does not require publication of all the
information required to reimplement a CDM --- since that obviously wouldn't
fly. The proposal in the bug is to publish all information about the
operation of the CDM except for the values of cryptographic keys. This
matches the "best practices" of modern cryptography, in which the security
of a system depends only on keeping secret keys secret, not on keeping
secret how the system works.

Discussion in the bug answers questions recorded in the minutes --- please
read it.

Rather than have group members speculate about the acceptability of these
requirements to CDM vendors, we should elicit direct public feedback from
CDM vendors on whether they can accept these requirements --- and if not,
why not.
